Hostess Wins The Olympics Advertising Gold Medal

Reach for the gold goodness of Twinkies, pole “vaulter” (UPDATED)

Everybody loves the Olympics "ambush" ad produced by Nike (see it here). It's a nice corporate spot. But I'm sorry: "greatness" is NOT for all of us. It's not for me. And It's definitely not for you, you fucking sloths.

Hostess is, like you, not in great shape. They declared bankruptcy for the second time just last January (according to Ad Age). But, dammit, with these two commercials, they're fighting back hard.

And, no matter: 100 years from now, all those Twinkies in that warehouse will still be as fresh as the day they were made (*tears in my eyes*).

Second spot, "Gymnast," below.

UPDATE: A third spot has been added, "Diver."

Ad agency: Bernstein-Rein.

The Official Government Logo For Drone Attacks (CORRECTED)

Is that Mr. Death, or an Ewok? (update: It's a Jawa!).

That's, maybe, a tad inappropriate for an official government logo, yes?
Though, it's not nearly as silly as the CIA's War on Terror logo during the Bush administration (see below).

Via Wired national security writer Spencer Ackerman.

UPDATE: It's not an official Navy logo, it's for a Navy development office.

English Farmer Pays Very Elaborate Tribute To Usain Bolt

Cuts a huge maze into his 15-acre maize field featuring Bolt in his famous lightning pose.

Farmer Tom Robinson defiled his land in Staffordshire, England.

Robinson says he is a massive fan of the Jamaican athlete, and had a dream Bolt would win the Olympic 100 meters race in record time, according to Dangerous Minds.

Looks more like a shot-putter.

The Bolt Maize Maze is opened to the public until harvest time.

Bad Fences Make Bad Neighbors

Just a friendly argument about a fence (NSFW, language and crotch grabbing).

View Video ›

Some bullet points:

• "My lawyer's already got a...thing on you!"
• "You know how bad I want you? I'm gonna fuck you in the ass, faggot."
• "I'm not stupid. I'm 50 years old!"

From what I can discern from the dialogue, the shitty fence belongs to the cameraman, and the cameraman has a dog that jumps over the fence into the angry man's yard. The angry man was maybe trying to fix the fence?

LIke some redditors said, we don't get to see what provoked the angry man. And the cameraman, with his "I'm Arabian" comment, does sound like a smug prick.

Anyway, I feel this could end in gunplay.

Scary Siberian Bear Hunting Armor From The 1800s

If I was a Russian bear, and came upon this, I'd shit.

The object is being called a Siberian bear-hunting suit, but I suspect it is more likely to be for bear bating than hunting, since I can’t imagine anyone could run around the woods in it. It consists of leather pants and jacket (and an iron helmet) studded all over with 1-inch iron nails about 3/4 in. apart. The nails are held in place by a second layer of leather lining the whole thing and quilted into place between the nails.

So, I guess one would run at the bear as it was running at you, and SQUISH! Then, I guess, one would keep belly-flopping on the injured bear until it was dead.

That's not very sporting.

PInhead-approved.

An Emotional Short Film For Diehard Sports Fans

Shot by Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris. Real sports fans don't let death stop them from rooting.

The film, via ESPN, is called "Team Spirit." As I am not really a "diehard" fan of any team (OK, maybe the Habs), I found this a bit unsettling. My favorite segment was the Cubs' fan—she's adorable.

The Creepiest Ice Cream Ads Ever Produced

A man, covered in ice cream, eats it off himself. You may, indeed, scream.

The spots are for Little Baby's Ice Cream of Philadelphia.
I've transcribed the newest of the two commercial, above:

There’s good reason for my glistening skin.
And how I shine. And how my pores are so…clean, clear.
I eat Little Baby’s ice cream.
It keeps me young.
It keeps me…light on my feet.
I spring, from activity to activity.
I love my job. I love my life.
When you eat Little Baby’s ice cream
you’ll wink and nod and hug
and high five each other with great enthusiasm.
This is a special time.
Little Baby’s ice cream.
Ice cream...is a feeling.

That's fucking poetry.

The second spot—which may or may not be creepier, is below.

The voiceover, the music, the actor...

I am speechless. I think, maybe..the ads might be brilliant?

This wonderful Godzilla scene was brought to a work barbecue in Tokyo, according to redditor takshaka. I know it's not as "good" as the "professional" watermelon artists' work, but I'd give this baby the blue ribbon. Technically, it's not eligible to win our National Watermelon Day. But, who the fuck cares.

Also, there is a brand of watermelon in Japan called "Godzilla Egg."
